Chapter 8 Assessment Begins
"What a high-quality arrow tower!"
With this height and the strength of the tower, and looking down from a high vantage point, the advantage is immense.
Unfortunately, there are not enough archers. He only has fifteen archers now, and the space above is 28 square meters, which is enough to accommodate more than twenty or thirty archers for combat.
Fifteen archers, ten archers are placed in one arrow tower, and the other five elite-quality imperial archers are placed in another arrow tower.
As for the infantry, there is no need to go up, just stay below and guard the gate.
In order to create a better environment for himself, Li Qing stacked the remaining stones in twos to form a semicircle in front of the core tower, leaving only a three-meter-wide exit.
Unfortunately, the materials are limited, otherwise I could have used the space available to manually build a section of stone wall.
Now the most critical points in the entire divine domain are the core tower of the divine domain and the people of many territories. When the battle begins, all the people will retreat back to the wooden houses and close the doors, and the monsters will have no choice but to attack the troops that remain outside.
"Perfect!"
The reason why the entire hole is not sealed directly is that if there is no target to attack, the enemy will attack the relatively weaker wooden house, so a hole must be left.
When there are enough stones in the future to build a wall around the residence of the family members, there will be no need to leave any holes.
In addition, the reason why trenches are not dug or kerosene is mainly because the current defense line is only temporary. Digging now is very time-consuming. There are insufficient tools and manpower in the divine realm, and there is not enough time.
Not to mention throwing kerosene, the stone wall is only one meter wide and two meters high, so it is not easy to do.
There is nothing more to say after this. Everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared and we are just waiting for the assessment to begin.
Time passed, and before we knew it, it was the day of school opening, and more and more new people came to report to the college.
Li Qing has been staying in the academy and has not gone out. He has been staying in the divine domain most of the time, occasionally logging into the academy's social platform to learn about the situation in the school.
Although I didn't try to find out more about it, I did learn a lot of inside information about the academy through some information occasionally .
The three days before school starts are the routine college welcome meeting. Most sophomores who do not have special tasks will return to the college. At the same time, everyone also sees the true faces of some tutors and sees more specific admissions requirements.
It was similar to what Li Qing saw on the campus website a few days ago, but more detailed.
For example, the original requirement for a four-star tutor was to give priority to the direct descendants of war lords, but the scope of this direct descendant was unknown. Now the specific scope has been explained, as well as the application criteria for students other than the direct descendants of war lords.
Of course, it makes no difference to Li Qing whether he gets the explanation or not, as they are all conditions that leave him with no hope.
After patiently reading it again, Li Qing waited obediently for notification.
On the fifth day of his time as a war apprentice, at 7 a.m., when it was still light, the sleeping Li Qing suddenly felt the personal terminal on his wrist vibrate. He checked it immediately and found three new messages.
Quickly click on the communication of the first three-star mentor Ji Yuanjia:
"Student Li Qing, please come to the 47th floor of Blackrock Tower during today's class period to take the test!"
Looking at the other two, they were communications from three-star mentor Shangguan Qin and two-star mentor Nie Yang. The content was the same, asking him to go for the assessment today.
Obviously, the three instructors’ assessments are all on the same day, which doesn’t give you much time to prepare.
However, the second three-star mentor Shangguan Qin also added a reminder in the notice that left him speechless:
"In principle, male students are not prohibited from registering, but female instructors will give priority to female students. In order not to delay Li Qing's time and waste an opportunity, you can re-apply for an instructor's assessment."
“Ah, this…”
Li Qing scratched his forehead, feeling a little embarrassed.
It sounded as if they had some ulterior motives in choosing the beautiful tutor.
But he was not stubborn. His instructor had said it so directly that he was neither a direct descendant of a war lord nor a super genius, so there was a high probability that he would not be selected if he registered.
As for which tutor to sign up for next, Li Qing has not made a choice yet. He plans to complete the assessments of the two tutors he chose previously before making a decision.
First, write back to mentor Ji Yuanjia, explaining that you will go to the 47th floor of Blackrock Tower where the mentor is at 9 o'clock this morning to take the assessment.
Then, he quickly put on his black school uniform, washed up, ate something in the college cafeteria, and then blended into the crowd to Blackrock Tower.
The Blackrock Tower is the super wizard tower in the center of the academy and is also the main body of the academy. Li Qing doesn't know how high and how many floors it has. He only knows that only tutors live in it. Each tutor occupies one floor, and the higher the status of the tutor, the higher the number of floors.
Many students in black robes gathered at the entrance of Blackrock Tower, including freshmen and many sophomores in blue robes, but no seniors were seen.
At Blackrock Spire War Academy, students are divided into only three levels.
First-year student, white robe.
The second grade is also called freshman, and they wear blue robes.
Those who are in the second grade and above, regardless of how many years they have been in the class, are collectively called old students and wear red robes.
The Blackrock Tower looks like a mountain from the outside. Its diameter is estimated to be about two hundred meters. Its height is unknown, but the height before passing through the vortex is several thousand meters.
The whole body of the tower is made of black crystal stone. It is estimated that the Mage Tower has activated some rune arrays since school has started. Compared with what was seen a week ago, a layer of energy light has appeared on the surface of the tower, sliding down from the top of the tower along the body of the tower like a waterfall.
At the same time, the number of light balls surrounding the tower increased a lot, making it look even more dangerous.
At the entrance of the Mage Tower stood two rows of tall steel golems, a type of constructed creature with a level 69 horror template. They used engineering and forging to build their frames, and runes and magic to construct their cores, power, and control systems, making them extremely powerful in combat.
Carefully passing through the row of cold steel golems and entering the tall wizard tower, Li Qing immediately saw a light screen in front of his eyes, displaying a teleportation menu that could teleport him to any place within his current identity and authority.
Li Qing took a careful look and found that with his current authority, he could only teleport to the Mage Tower 1-10, and the 16th, 46th and 47th floors.
According to what he knew now, floors 1 to 10 were the common floors of Blackrock Tower, containing public laboratories, public libraries and other areas, which were accessible to all students.
The floors above the 11th floor are for tutors, and each tutor has a private area for himself.
Under normal circumstances, one can only go to the floor where his tutor is located. The 16th, 46th and 47th floors are the areas of the three tutors that Li Qing applied for. He has temporary access today, and the temporary authority will disappear after today.
Without any nonsense, Li Qing stretched out his finger and pointed at the 47th floor. The space around him twisted and disappeared on the spot just like the figures that disappeared around him one after another.
When he appeared again, he was already in an unfamiliar room. Standing around him were seven freshmen, all men, who were wearing black robes with white edges like him.
As soon as Li Qing appeared, everyone looked over. He looked back, and when he saw the vigilance in everyone's eyes, he took back what he was about to say.
Yes, strictly speaking they are now competitors, so naturally there will be no goodwill.
In fact, everyone in the entire college is in a state of competition.
The competition between different mentors is reflected in the students they teach.
Students within the same tutor compete with each other for the resources in his or her hands.
Every tutor has limited resources. If one student is given a little more, it means that another student will definitely get less. In order to grab more resources, they will inevitably compete with each other.
With nothing to say, Li Qing just found a seat and sat down.
The room is large and sealed without windows or other air vents, but it doesn't feel stuffy at all.
There were no lights in the room, but the walls were made of white stone and emitted a soft glow.
The light was neither blinding nor bright, but the four walls were all glowing with light that merged together, making the entire room as bright as day.
The depressing atmosphere lasted for about half an hour, during which time people kept coming over. Suddenly, at one point, a gentle male voice rang in Li Qing's ears:
"Come to the classroom!"
Li Qing stood up and found that all the students sitting in the room stood up and rushed to the door.
No one spoke or communicated. They were all freshmen and didn't know each other. It was even more impossible for them to provoke others without reason. They all left the room with their heads down.
Li Qing followed the crowd out of the room. Outside was a wide and long corridor. The room they were in was at the bottom of the corridor. At the top of the corridor hung a conspicuous classroom sign. More than a dozen people were rushing towards the classroom.
There are many rooms at the edge of the passage, but their doors are all closed.
Li Qing followed the crowd to the classroom door and immediately discovered a layer of light film at the door that undulated like flowing water.
After passing through the light film, the scene in front of my eyes suddenly became bright, and I instantly appeared from the Mage Tower in a beautiful valley.
"Space expansion spell!"
Apparently, the mentor purified a plane fragment, sealed it, and moved it into the Mage Tower, making it one of the many internal spaces of the Mage Tower.
The valley was quite spacious, and many buildings of varying heights could be seen on both sides of the valley. Everyone was standing in a square in front of a three-story building. On both sides were lush green peaks, and both ends led to deeper parts of the mountains. The shadows of many mountains could be vaguely seen, but Li Qing knew that those shadows were illusions, not real.
If it is true, the size of this plane fragment is unusual and it is unlikely to be used as a classroom.
"clang!"
The clear sound of the bell attracted everyone's attention. Li Qing turned around and saw two senior students in red robes walking out of the building.
The group of freshmen immediately saluted respectfully and shouted:
"Hello, senior!"
The two walked to the steps and stood still, looking down at the dozen or so students below, and said loudly with expressionless faces:
"I won't explain the rules. I believe you all know that the test is very simple. I will activate a monster card and send it into your divine domain. If you can destroy all the invading monsters within half an hour, you will pass. The shorter the time, the higher the score. If it takes less than five minutes, you don't need to wait and you can immediately become my mentor's student."
Another red-robed senior also shouted expressionlessly:
"From now on, you can return to the divine domain. You have five minutes to prepare. After five minutes, the assessment will begin regardless of whether you are ready or not."
"Also, if you feel you can't resist, you can shout 'give up' and the monster will stop attacking immediately!"
As soon as they finished speaking, all the students stood still on the spot. Soon, an invisible distortion emanated from their bodies. Their figures quickly faded until they disappeared. A faint shadow of a divine realm appeared in their place.
In the divine domain, on the first floor of the core tower, the moment Li Qing's figure solidified, he immediately shouted to the two elite imperial infantrymen guarding the door:
"Everyone, get ready for battle!"
He rushed out of the tower quickly, and with a thought, a breeze enveloped him and he rose up. He shouted to the small divine domain:
"Everyone immediately put down their work, go back inside and close the door."
The people of the territory were stunned for a moment, threw away the work in their hands, turned around and ran towards a row of wooden houses in the north of the divine domain.
Fortunately, the divine domain was not large, and at this time most of the people were reclaiming wasteland in the southwest of the divine domain. In less than two minutes, they ran back to their rooms and closed the doors.
After making sure there were no problems, Li Qing turned his gaze back to the center of the divine realm. His men were already in place.
All the infantry had retreated back to the stone wall in front of the core tower of the divine domain, all the archers had climbed up the two towers, and five cavalrymen were waiting on horseback at the entrance of the tower.
Li Qing himself retreated back to the core tower, went up to the third floor of the tower, stood on a platform extending from the tower, and prepared to issue orders here.
At this stage, he has not learned any extraordinary powers, and his level has not been raised by one level. His combat capability is no different from that of ordinary people. He can only stay there to command, accumulate some strategic command experience, and improve his strategic level.
In the valley outside the God's Domain, the two seniors and everyone else entered the God's Domain, each holding a stack of cards and coming to the projection of the Gods' Domain.
"this……"
His eyes glowed with a faint light as he looked into the projection of the divine realm. He slowly spread out a stack of cards in his palm and picked one out:
"That's it!"
With a flick of his finger, the card flew into the distorted light and shadow projected by the divine realm, and quickly collapsed into a ball of light and sank into it.
Another senior student was standing in front of another projection of the divine realm, and he also chose a card and threw it into it according to the situation in the divine realm in front of him.
In the fifth minute, Li Qing, who was standing on the top of the tower waiting, suddenly sensed something and looked up, and saw a large shadow suddenly emerging in the sky to the east of his divine domain. It then quickly condensed into a ball of white light and smashed into the easternmost part of the divine domain.
When the white fog ring covering dozens of meters disappeared, a large group of...dog-headed men appeared in its place.
“It’s actually this kind?”
Kobold (Waste): A small humanoid creature that is good at digging.
Level: Level 3.
Basic skills: One-handed LV1, running LV1.
Advanced skills: None.
Li Qing had learned about this kind of humanoid monster in the theoretical class of junior college before. It was a very common humanoid monster. There were three advancement routes for this thing.
Kobold Advanced Illustrations 1: Level 3 Kobold (Waste), Level 10 Kobold Digger (Ordinary), Level 20 Kobold Chieftain (Ordinary), Level 30 Kobold Leader (Elite).
Kobold Advanced Illustrations 2: Level 3 Kobold (Waste), Level 10 Kobold Digger (Ordinary), Level 20 Kobold Thrower (Ordinary).
Kobold Advanced Illustrations III: Level 3 Kobold (Waste), Level 10 Kobold Digger (Ordinary), Level 20 Kobold Diviner (Ordinary), Level 30 Kobold Priest (Elite), Level 69 Kobold Dragon Vein Warlock (Terrible)
The Gnoll race is weak as a whole, none of the three routes are strong, the upper limit is level three, and it is the bottom of the three levels.
However, this race's magic advancement route has an extremely small probability of awakening the dragon vein. Once awakened, it will immediately advance to a sixth-level peak ogre dragon vein warlock with a terrifying template, and its combat power is extremely strong.
Of course, there is no way that the group of ogres in front of him could include a dragon vein sorcerer, or even a third-level ogreon leader.
There are a total of sixty kobolds, most of them are level 3 kobolds, twenty level 10 kobold diggers, a level 20 kobold chieftain and five level 20 kobold throwers, with no magic advancement.
On paper, this scale has surpassed Li Qing's current strength, but he has the home advantage.
The two tall arrow towers can fully guarantee the safety of the ranged troops. The kobolds are only five level 20 kobold throwers, whose weapons are slingshots. Although they are powerful, their range and accuracy are insufficient. They will definitely be beaten if they shoot against the archers on the arrow towers.
In addition, he has five level 18 cavalrymen, who can definitely demonstrate strength that surpasses the second-level Kobold Throwers at critical moments.
